The reactions of the three fellows were all within Luo Xiu's plan. As a matter of fact, he did not even need to say anything. Someone would definitely suggest something else. After all, the three of them were working together, but they also restricted each other. Of course, it was impossible for them to see one of them grow stronger. This was the true reason why Luo Xiu had taken out the Innate Soul Nurturing Lotus so enthusiastically. He wanted to sow discord between them, and he had done it so perfectly that they could not find fault with it.
As expected, not only did the expressions of the three venerables from the Primeval World change when Luo Xiu said that, but even the faces of the Pingtian Ancestor and the white tiger changed as well. None of them were idiots. Luo Xiu was clearly trying to drive a wedge between them, so it was impossible for him to fool them. However, they probably had different thoughts.
To the three venerables, Luo Xiu was basically telling them that there was only one Innate Soul Nurturing Lotus. Whoever did it would benefit from it. Moreover, judging from how confident Luo Xiu was, he was definitely confident that he could increase the strength of someone's soul.
To many people, the strength of their soul was directly related to their life and death, battle prowess, comprehension of laws, and everything related to cultivation. As a result, even the Venerable Black Tiger, who had remained silent the entire time, could not help but be slightly moved when he heard what Luo Xiu had said. Luo Xiu's words were just too tempting.
The moment their gazes met, they quickly turned their gazes away. In Luo Xiu's eyes, Luo Xiu almost laughed out loud in his heart. He really didn't expect these people to be so smart, and with just a verbal exchange, he had completely taken over the right to speak. He had even unknowingly taken control of the fate of these people. From a certain point of view, this feeling was very magical, and it also made him unable to stop himself.
How should he put it? Luo Xiu himself could not use words to describe the feelings in his heart at this moment. He was very sure that he really had a backup plan. In case the three guys in the Untainted World gave in to each other, he was really prepared to take out a Primordial Spirit Lotus that could purify people's souls. However, it seemed that his idea was not wrong. From various signs, it showed that these guys did not have the intention to fulfill the wish of others, which meant that his plan was basically successful. Luo Xiu did not want to delve into what this meant, but there was one thing that he did know. Someone would definitely take the initiative to ask him to do that even if he did not open his mouth. Thinking of this, Luo Xiu was bursting with joy.
"Don't worry, Old Man is a man of his words. Everything my teacher took out and everything I said must be true. I don't care whether you believe it or not. I just hope that you can make a decision as soon as possible. If we delay it for too long, it will be disadvantageous for us. Since we don't know where the crisis is, it's best for us to leave this weird place as soon as possible. What do you think?"
After glancing at these people, especially the three Venerables from the Untainted World, Luo Xiu said with an extremely serious look.
For Luo Xiu at this moment, although he had already expected this situation, the real situation made him feel at a loss. It was not an exaggeration to say that if he really had such powerful energy, he would not be willing to do such a scheming thing. However, there was nothing he could do. It was fine if he did not have the advantage in strength, but even his status was barely satisfactory. Even if he displayed a strong enough foundation, he would inevitably be looked down upon by others.
"Senior, you've gone too far!
You're basically trying to drive a wedge between the three of us!
Let's discuss it first and then give senior an accurate answer. It won't take too long! "
Ancestor Pingtian smiled bitterly. Afterwards, the three of them looked at each other and fell into deep thought. Ancestor Pingtian looked at them, and Venerable Five Desires also said helplessly.
It couldn't be helped. They didn't expect Luo Xiu to do something like this, but there was nothing they could do. Everyone present knew that although Luo Xiu's words sounded like he was trying to drive a wedge between them, it was true that he only had one thing in his hand. Whoever took it would weaken the strength of the other two parties. Under such circumstances, the three of them didn't have any thoughts of helping him at all. Instead, they wanted the person who took it to strengthen his Soul Force and gain the recognition of the Innate Five Elements Flags. Under such circumstances, their losses would be really great. Therefore, the three of them were rather hesitant. None of them dared to take the initiative to speak the truth. Because they represented the Human, Demon, and Monster Race forces respectively, none of them dared to make a promise at this time. After all, this meant that they were handing the fate of their race and themselves over to someone else. As long as they weren't idiots, no one would be willing to take such a risk.
At the same time, when Luo Xiu discovered that the three of them from the Untainted World had fallen silent at the same time, he didn't urge them or say anything. After all, he had already thrown out the bait. Whether he could achieve what he wanted next depended on whether his plan would succeed or not. At this moment, they were really just pawns that had been casually arranged. After all, Luo Xiu knew better than anyone else that the best solution would be if they took the initiative to hand over the operation method of the Innate Five Elements Flags. However, the Innate Five Elements Flags belonged to the Untainted World and didn't belong to any of the three parties.
It also meant that no one had the right to dispose of this primordial treasure. In other words, the three of them wished that the primordial treasure, the Innate Five Elements Flag, was ownerless. In that case, anyone would have a chance to get it, which would be the most perfect way.
However, Luo Xiu's various methods had really disintegrated the alliance of these people and completely implemented his plan. More than half of it had succeeded. Next, as long as he could get the Innate Five Elements Flags, it would be a matter of course for him to get the Heaven-Devouring Devil Pot. After all, once he had the Innate Five Elements Flags, a powerful Spiritual Treasure that could suppress the power of the Heaven-Devouring Devil Pot and weaken it, Luo Xiu was confident that as long as these people handed over the operation method, he could take them away from here in an instant.
Seeing the three hesitating, Luo Xiu showed an impatient look and said in an extremely cold tone, "How about it?
Have the three of you decided on who will be doing this?
It's not that I want to do this, but the thing I have is only enough for one person. You have to make a decision as soon as possible. This is related to our safety, so don't delay any longer. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. I don't know if the Devouring Heaven Emperor can perceive the situation here, but if he can, and we are trapped in his Innate Treasure, I don't think you need to think too much about what it will mean for us! "
Luo Xiu looked at Venerable Tian Yu and the others who were still hesitating and couldn't help but sigh. He pretended to be worried and anxious as he spoke. His words were sincere and contained all sorts of thoughts, but he didn't express his true intentions. This was because he knew better than anyone that if he made it too obvious, it would definitely attract suspicion and conflict from some people. Especially since the Holy Beast White Tiger was present. The only one who could compare to him was this White Tiger.
Someone must have discovered Luo Xiu's evil intentions, but there was nothing they could do. The situation was more important than him, and Luo Xiu had such a huge hook in front of them, so no one would jump out to oppose him. As a result, while the others remained silent, Ancestor Pingtian and Monarch Yuanmo watched everything with a smile.
To them, they were just spectators. No matter what the two sides were scheming, it would not affect them too much. It was impossible for the three of them from the primeval world to work together, which meant that there was a very great chance of success. They could only watch the benefits. They would not be able to eat them.
As a result, Monarch Yuanmo and the Ancestor Pingtian stared at Luo Xiu strangely. Luo Xiu's move was just too brilliant. To put it bluntly, no one would have thought of something like that. Most importantly, Luo Xiu still did it so casually, grasping the initiative without leaving any traces behind. The two of them sighed in amazement at such a strange yet genius way of doing things. They shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Luo Xiu was extremely excited inside, but he acted like he was in a hurry. Clearly, he had done this for a very simple reason. He did not want to give them any time to think about the consequences. He wanted them to make a decision as soon as possible. Luo Xiu and the others were currently under spatial pressure. If it were not for Luo Xiu's Heaven-devouring Demonic Pot, they would not have been able to communicate with the pressure at all. Given the current situation, Luo Xiu believed that they would make a decision very quickly.
As expected, the three people from the primeval world did not make Luo Xiu wait for too long. However, Luo Xiu could not help but smile playfully when he saw how hesitant they were. To them, no matter how malicious Luo Xiu's words earlier were, there was one thing they could not deny, which was that Luo Xiu was truly prepared to offer them benefits. His goal was very simple as well, which was to break free.
The main reason for such a tangled situation was that the three of them had something to do with each other. In this case, no matter how thick-skinned they were, they could not blame all this on Luo Xiu. Therefore, although Luo Xiu's smile was extremely abominable in their eyes, they had nowhere to vent their anger. "Senior, please don't be impatient. We'll discuss it first.
Actually, it's better for you to do this. I know my own reasons. Even with the protection provided by you, I can't sublimate my soul in a short period of time, not to mention that it's not something that can be done in 10 or 20 years in such a complicated environment. I've discussed with my two fellow cultivators whether we should hand over the controlling formula of the Innate Five Elements Flags. After all, the Innate Five Elements Flags belongs to our world, and the controlling formula of this item is not a big secret among the upper echelons of the Untainted World! Although the Innate Five Elements Flags belongs to our world, the controlling formula of this item is not a big secret among the upper echelons of the Untainted World!
Senior, please wait a moment. After we discuss it, we'll give you a satisfactory answer! "Venerable Tianyu glanced at Luo Xiu with hidden bitterness and said with a gloomy expression.
After all, they belonged to different forces and could not work together at all. Therefore, even though Luo Xiu's plan was almost obvious, none of them pointed it out. Even if they knew it, it was impossible for them to cooperate without conditions. "Senior, don't be impatient.
I've made it clear. Now it's up to you whether you're willing to do it or not. I have nothing to say. If you're willing to hand over the incantation to control the Innate Five Elements Flags to me, the Old Man will not give it back to you. Therefore, I hope you'll consider it carefully. If you're really willing to hand over the incantation to control the Innate Five Elements Flags to me, the Old Man will be indebted to you. Therefore, you'd better think about it carefully. After all, time is limited and it's related to your life and death, so please be careful and leave a way out for yourselves! "
Luo Xiu didn't care in the slightest about the gazes of the three of them that wanted to eat him alive. To him, being able to obtain the support of the three of them without shedding a drop of blood and obtaining the Innate Five Element Flags was Luo Xiu's greatest objective, and everything else was completely unimportant.
The real reason why he could accomplish his plan so easily was that he had stayed in the Untainted World for a period of time. He knew clearly how tense the relationship between the three forces in the Untainted Land was. Even though they had united now, it was just a superficial alliance. They only acted together when facing external threats. In other times, they still acted independently.
Under such circumstances, Luo Xiu did not believe that these fellows would be able to escape from his grasp, so his words were absolutely from the bottom of his heart. Because he was more certain than anyone that he would succeed, and it would be the kind of success that did not involve bloodshed.
Of course, Luo Xiu did not force them too hard. After all, to him, it really depended on his mood. He was very sure of his own scheme, and these people all understood it. However, he was even more clear that this scheme of his was almost impossible to play out. Looking at the three of them gnashing their teeth but unable to do anything, even though Luo Xiu was laughing in his heart, on the surface, he still looked calm and indifferent, as if he did not care at all.
After all, in the eyes of many outsiders, Luo Xiu's Nine Circles Exquisite Pagoda and Immortal-killing Sword Formation were extremely powerful treasures. It was not worthwhile to offend the three forces for the sake of the Innate Five Elements Flags. Therefore, no one would think that Luo Xiu was a Pixiu. Almost everything that caught his eye, he would try his best to get it into his bowl without hesitation.
